Bushels to Liters Converter (US & Imperial)
Convert bushels to liters in one click. Supports US (dry) bushel and Imperial bushel, plus reverse liters to bushels. Includes formulas, examples, and a handy conversion table for agriculture and grain trade.
Bushel volume inputs
Switch between US and Imperial bushels, enter your value, and let CalcDomain complete the reverse conversion.
Use US for North American datasets, Imperial for UK / Commonwealth reporting.
Enter bushels to convert to liters.
Enter liters to convert back to bushels.
Factors used: 1 US bushel = 35.23907017 L; 1 Imperial bushel = 36.36872 L.
How to Use This Converter
Select the bushel standard (US or Imperial), enter the value you have in either the bushel or liter field, and click Calculate. The other field updates automatically using that standard's conversion factor.
The interface defaults to 10 US bushels so you can see immediate feedback. You can type into either field; results round to four decimals for precise quoting and reduce floating-point glitches.
Methodology
Bushels are converted to liters by multiplying by the published factor (35.23907017 for US, 36.36872 for Imperial). Liters revert to bushels by dividing by the same factor. Only finite, non-negative inputs are accepted so the calculator never renders NaN or Infinity.
Example
Liters = 12 × 35.23907 = 422.86884 L
If your data uses UK/Imperial bushels: 12 × 36.36872 = 436.42464 L.

What is a bushel?
A bushel is a unit of dry volume historically used in agriculture for grains, fruit, and similar commodities. Because there are different regional definitions (US versus UK/Imperial), having a converter that clearly states the standard is essential before sharing data.
When to use this tool
- Converting USDA crop data from bushels to liters or cubic meters.
- Importing UK agricultural reports into metric documents.
- Preparing educational material that requires both US customary and SI units.
FAQ
1. Why are the US and UK bushels different?
They come from different historical standards. The US bushel is defined as 2150.42 cubic inches; the Imperial bushel is defined as 8 Imperial gallons.
2. Can I convert directly to cubic meters?
Yes. Once you have liters, divide by 1000. For example, 352.39 L = 0.35239 m³.
3. Are bushels a measure of weight?
No, they are volume. Some commodities have “standard weight per bushel” (like wheat), but that depends on the commodity and moisture content.
